ExcelentePosted on Google Subodh MishraJuly 1, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Brian and Christina were great! They were so accommodating and generous. We truly had a great time, and they were so nice and friendly. They really made a great effort to show us a great time along Sarasota harbor, the keys, and the gulf coast at sunset and at night with all the lights along bay bridge.Posted on Google Jen GriffithJune 22, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Captain Brian and Christina were wonderful hosts. They made the day easy, fun, memorable, and went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience. We explored multiple spots around the area, enjoyed tubing, and got to see some beautiful scenery along the way. Their kindness, flexibility, and attention to detail really stood out. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a great day on the water.Posted on Google Michelle WilsonJune 22, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Very nice Loved itPosted on Google JulieJune 11, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had a fabulous time with Captain Brian and First Mate Christina. First off, they were delightful and most accommodating! Very comfortable boat and knowledgeable team. We will definitely be booking with them real soon for another incredible adventure on the Gulf. 🌊☀️Posted on Google Amber LundJune 5, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. We had the best time with Captain Brian and Christina on an incredible adventure sunset cruise! They truly went above and beyond to make our experience truly magical. From giving my son his first tubing experience (which he said made it the best boat trip ever!), to the wealth of knowledge Christina had about the area (which my husband and I loved learning about), to the endless amount of snacks that kept both my kiddos happy for 5 hours, Tortuga Boat Adventures was the best choice for our boating day. They had everything on board that we could need to make our trip comfortable and enjoyable. They were extremely attentive and made sure we always had everything we needed. Christina even took a ton of photos for us which was basically like having a personal photographer on board! That was an extra touch that just made the experience above and beyond. If you have the chance to book with them you will not be disappointed. Thanks so much Captain Brian and Christina! We hope to see you again!Posted on Google Leah BagasMay 29, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I have done a few charters before on vacations, but this was by far the best one I have ever done. If you’re in the Sarasota area, you should absolutely take this tour.Posted on Google Anna SextonMay 29, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Buena muy divertida recomendada al 1000Posted on Google Akela LloydMay 26, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Such a great experience! We had a group of 6 (3 adults and 3 teenagers) and there was ample space for all of us to sit comfortably and store our belongings. We did not use the potty but liked having the option, and we appreciated having the ability to either sit in the shade or directly in the sun. Captain Brian and First Mate Christina were wonderful! They provided a cooler, ice, and water. They also offered snorkeling gear and floaties for us to enjoy. You can tell they put a lot of thought and intention behind their service. They had can koozies and little snacks available just because! They took us to a couple beaches/sand bars as well as a safe area to go tubing behind the boat. We appreciated not having to worry about boat traffic while tubing. We are sooo grateful for the abundance of photos Captain and First Mate took of our group. We had such a great time living in the moment but it was a great surprise to receive so many awesome candid photos after our trip. Highly recommend! We would book again.Posted on Google Pamela FargoMay 12, 2026Trustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Had a great time on the Tortuga Boat Adventures. Captain Brian and his wife were really nice. They took my family tubing off the back of their book and then went to Midnight Pass to look for sea shells. It was a great day and they were very accommodating. Highly recommend them.
